Top-ranked player offering masterclasses at Bodmin Leisure Centre

Pickleball enthusiasts in Cornwall have a rare chance to sharpen their skills as European and national champion Richard Love heads to Bodmin Leisure Centre for a series of doubles masterclasses on Tuesday 11th March.

What Is Pickleball?

One of the fastest-growing racquet sports in the world, pickleball is played on a smaller court than tennis using paddles, making it accessible and fast-paced. Bodmin Leisure Centre, operated by GLL under the Better brand, already runs group pickleball sessions on its indoor tennis courts, providing all necessary equipment.

Richard will be leading small-group coaching masterclasses and larger group sessions, tailored for players with a good knowledge of the game.
